M Stevenson recommends

Strange Familiars (2026)
(Seamere College Duology, book 1)
Keshe Chow
"I completely adored this book and its delightful cast of characters--human, animal, and mythical. This has it all: found family, a dark edge of mystery, wondrous enchantments, and banter that will make you snort into your tea. The ideal read for everyone who fell in love with magical schools as a child and wished for a version for adults. With a rivals-to-lovers romance that crackles with tension, a fantastical veterinary school, and your new favorite fictional feline, Strange Familiars is sure to become your next fantasy obsession!"

Love Galaxy (2026)
(Imperial Broadcasts, book 1)
Sierra Branham
"I raced through this book! Come for the reality dating show in space, stay for the murder and sapphic yearning. Readers who love an underdog protagonist, a genre-blending plot, and rich but accessible world building will adore Love Galaxy."

City of Others (2026)
(DEUS Files, book 1)
Jared Poon
"This is one of those books that expands the boundaries of what speculative fiction can be and do. By turns funny, philosophical, and delightfully bizarre, City of Others had me hooked all the way from the undead ducklings to the final poignant chapter."
